Fuckloads of Diamonds

One of the many things that originally drew me to Lily Allen was her fearlessness in delivering blatant honesty. Listening to her album was like hearing all the thoughts a normal person keeps hidden from the world be delivered and packaged in cleverly disguised pop tunes.

See Lily look like a jaded little dollie in her new video for The Fear. Only she could get away with lyrics like these:

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever, I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous

Speaking of hardcore bitches making sweet comebacks, this bitch in particular is fabulous. I am shamelessly enjoying the shit out of Circus thus far.

Chanel-ing Queen Amidala

School and finals kind of makes me want to die, but Chanel's Pre-Fall 2009 collection makes me happy to be alive. In my wildest fantasies, if we ever discover life on another planet, they will dress like this.

Excuse me while I go watch Anastasia and Star Wars all at the same time.

I like myself the way I am!

Penelope! by Butterfly Interlude

Forever 21 bow bobby pins, Fancy Pocket large button necklaces, Topshop coat, Forever 21 tile scarf, pig snout, random buttons, Miu Miu gloves, Sparkle&Fade strip tights, Loja Melissa shoes

In addition to being one of the cutest movies I've ever seen in my life, Penelope never fails to send my mind into a swirly vortex of colorful, whimsical outfits. The set design is pure eye candy, the story line is sweet enough to melt hearts without being over-the-top cheese, and James McAvoy is the hero. What more could a girl ask for in a movie?

I really enjoyed making these Polyvores. Granted I wouldn't wear these with a pig snout unless it was for Halloween, but I'm pretty sure that more than half of the human population would be completely clueless as to who I was dressed as. Oh well, cuteness does not make much money in the movie business it seems.

Debenhams sparkle beret, Topshop coat, Miss Selfridge crochet top, Hannah Zakari star necklace, Peacocks polka dot skirt, black opaque tights, Topshop bow gloves, Mary Janes

Oh gosh, just looking at this makes my heart swell. Inspired by a five second scene in which Penelope daydreams herself walking around Paris. I will more than likely be making more from this movie since practically every outfit of hers made me want to run to Anthropologie and find anything remotely similar. So cute!

shoot them down and set me free

I have been pining and kind of down in the dumps, but this site has helped cheer me up some:

Kiss Me Daily definitely satisfies the needs of every lover of love, like myself.

Lately, school has been stealing my soul and I haven't had much time for anything else. The most exciting thing that's happened to me recently would be winning the opportunity to go to this event and enjoying some God-given eyecandy in the form of Jackson Rathbone (who deserves his own post..which will probably happen soon). Seriously, Robert Pattinson who?

Il pleut depuis ce matin

Adorable and bizarre with a fairy-tale voice - just the way I like my music! Behold Emilie Simon, one of the cutest things to come out of France. All of her songs serve as glimpses into her unfathomable imagination, teetering between eerily haunting and whimsically childlike melodies which stick to your memory like peanut butter. Her covers of Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and Nirvana's "Come As You Are" completely blow me away.

Have yourself a listen to a few of my favorites off her US debut album, the Flower Book. Not a Francophile? Never fear, for Emilie sings in both English and French.

BEETLEJUICE!

Behold a list of my all-time favorite Halloween flicks for my all-time favorite holiday! Only fully enjoyable with a bowl of candy corn, a comfy blanket, and all the lights off!

Beetlejuice

Starting off with one of my favorite movies of all time, Halloween or not, Beetlejuice! Created the year I was born, BJ has always been a part of my childhood. My first introduction to him and Lydia was in the animated series, which I will always hold a soft spot for. The movie, however, is a different matter of awesome all on its own.

Frankenweenie

I cannot seem to find this movie anywhere anymore. It used to give on the Disney channel every Halloween, but has now been replaced with things like Halloweentown II and Hannah Montana: the Halloween Episode or whatnot. Frankenweenie, directed by Tim Burton, is pretty much a cute remake of the story of Frankenstein (who is my favorite misunderstood monster of all time, by the way) in which a young boy tries to bring his deceased dog back to life.

Hocus Pocus

If my previous Polyvore on these stylish witches didn't give away the fact that I absolutely love this movie, well then I absolutely love this movie. Although, it used to scare me as a child I grew to appreciate its genius as I got older. Three witches are brought back from the dead by a rebellious virgin and some hocus pocus on Halloween. Him, his sister, and his girlcrush must work together to send the Sanderson sisters back to the grave before they suck all the lives out of the children of Salem to restore their youth. Although, Salem probably would have been flippin' sweet if they had been kept alive. Just sayin...

The Addams Family

Oh my gosh, who can resist Christina Ricci as Wednesday? Nobody! Never have I seen a more perfect casting for a movie remake of anything. Who even cares about the plot?

The Worst Witch

My love for this movie cannot be expressed in words. I remember singing along to the themesong (Growing up isn't easy/wish the time would hurry by/how much can a young girl take/mirror mirror on the wall/who's the worst witch of them all?) and relating to social outcast Mildred Hubble when I was going through elementary school. Throughout the movie, she faces her bullies and comes into her own as an esteemed witch. So inspiring, hehe.

Nightmare Before Christmas

The only Halloween movie I know of that you can get away with watching two times a year. Plus, I've just heard that they've gone and remade the entire soundtrack with contemporary bands like Shiny Toy Guns, Amina, Marilyn Manson, and Devotchka.

Stream it here!

Sleepy Hollow

Another Tim Burton flick. I'm such a huge fan of all of his movies. I love the usual atmosphere and cinematography he brings to all his creations. Sleepy Hollow is no exception, although it does have the added bonus of having Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci (as a blonde!). A charming love story blossoms over the course of the dark events in the town of Sleepy Hollow.

Under Wraps

Disney is actually good when it wants to be. Under Wraps was pure fun from start to finish, genuinely satirical with the usual Disney adult-jokes thrown in. Basically, three kids accidentally bring a mummy back to life on Halloween and they must find a way to get him back into his sarcophagus before it's too late!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

First saw this in seventh grade and pretty much watched the entire movie with my jaw hanging open in pure, unadulterated confusion. But damn was it entertaining! Musical science fiction with sex, murder, cross-dressing, aliens, and the hilarious corruption of two innocents. Worth the watch just for the Time Warp, trust me.

Invasion of the Clowns!

My clown-inspired fashion love started courtesy of the adorable gauze harlequin mini dress (by Miu Miu) which graced the cover of Nylon with Leighton Meester a few months back. Ever since then, my heart skips a couple beats whenever the sight of harlequin prints grace my eyes.

Moschino S/S 09

Miu Miu patchwork pump & shoe boot

Eley Kishimoto Fall 08

Sass & Bide sequin dress

Topshop skirt and vest

Topshop laptop case / Dolce & Gabbana snakeskin clutch

And last but not least, in the spirit of Halloween, a Rocky Horror Picture Show inspired Polyvore featuring my favorite tap dancer aside from Gene Kelly, Columbia! Surprisingly, the harlequin prints go very well with her.

Come little children, I'll take thee away by Butterfly Interlude

I've gone and polyvore-d my costume from last year because it was so fun, flouncy, and flirty that I thought everyone should be able to enjoy it for themselves. My cape was handmade, though, to point up at the top like so. Based entirely off of the witch, Sarah Sanderson (played by Sarah Jessica Parker), from one of the best Halloween movies of all time, Hocus Pocus, mainly because if I were a mentally handicapped witch I would probably act most like her out of the three sisters. Sarah, the most whimsy and carefree of the three Sandersons, often dances around, lures children, and loves boys and spiders. She also has a gorgeous color palette for a wardrobe, thus one of the primary reasons I was drawn to it. Seriously, I would wear it every single day if society allowed. Fortunately for me, there are other alternatives for having a witch-inspired wardrobe.

Plus, there is always this option.
